New Harmonies provides a fascinating, inspiring, and toe-tapping listen to the American story of multi-cultural exchange. The story is full of surprises about familiar songs, histories of instruments, the roles of religion and technology, and the continuity of musical roots from “Yankee Doodle Dandy” to the latest hip hop CD.
The Grand Opening for the exhibit will be at the Sturgis Public Library on March 18th at 1:00 P.M. followed by a performance by the South Dakota Symphony Lakota Music Project at the Sturgis Community Center at 2:00 P.M.
